Julius K9 Original Power Harness

These harness are made in Hungary by Julius-K9, a company that specializes in high-end Schutzhund and working dog products and the inventor of the Velcro interchangeable patches system. The Power Harness is Julius-K9's original harness. It is a high-quality, rugged harness that was designed for professional use with European search & rescue, military, and police dogs. The profile of the Power Harness is parallel to the ground whereas the Julius-K9 IDC Harness has an angular profile. Because of this profile difference, we have found that the IDC Harness fits small dogs better than the small sizes of the Power Harness.

The Power Harness is so easy to take on and off the dog that it can be used for taking your dog into the agility ring; just drop the harness over the dog's head and click in the buckle on the belly band. The harness is designed to allow a full range of motion so your dog can walk or run while wearing it.

The surface of the Power Harness is made from rugged, scratch-proof, and water-resistant polyester, which makes it an ideal harness for dogs that run in their harness when you're hiking in thickly wooded/shrubbed areas.

The underside of the harness is padded with Öko-Tex, a breathable cotton that is gentle on the dog's coat and skin.

The chest and belly straps are made from pressure-tested seatbelt-type webbing and are infinitely adjustable, allowing you to achieve a perfect fit on any dog. The chest belt on sizes 0-3 has a reflective strip stitched on for night-time visibility, while the chest belt for sizes Mini, Mini Mini, Baby 1, and Baby 2 has reflective stitching. All sizes of harnesses have reflective edging.

The back of the harness features a steel ring for attaching your leash.

Except for the Baby 1 and Baby 2 sizes, this harness also has a handle that enables you to lift or hold your dog when necessary. For safety, the handle fastens down on the harness with Velcro when it's not in use.

The harness has a reflective label "patch" on each side that is attached with Velcro. The ones that come with the Power Harness say "Julius-K9," but additional labels with different words and phrases can be purchased separately.

How to Measure and Fit Your Dog

Place 4 fingers (2 fingers for dogs that you think will need a Baby 1 or Baby 2 size) behind your dog's legs. Using a flexible measuring tape, measure your dog's girth at this point. This is where the belly strap of the harness should be when the harness is properly fitted.

How to Adjust the Harness When You Receive It

When trying the harness on your dog for the first time, the chest strap should be adjusted so that you can fit 4 fingers comfortably between the front legs of the dog and the belly strap of the harness (for sizes Baby 1 and Baby 2, it is enough to leave a 2-finger distance). The belly strap is adjusted correctly if you can slide your fingers under the harness on the back of your dog.

It is very important to adjust the chest strap and the lower strap under the chest correctly; if the straps are too loose, the dog might be able to slip out of the harness and if they are too tight it can cause chaffing in the armpit area. Please watch this video or consult this guide if you have any questions about how the harness should be adjusted for proper fit.

The image below shows a correct and an incorrect size choice. The harness fits properly if the dog has sufficient room in the shoulder area. The legs must be able to move freely.

The free shipping offer only applies to products that are shipped directly from Clean Run and that do not have a notation in the product description indicating the item is excluded from free shipping offers. Items in the store may be excluded because of weight, box size, or because they must be shipped separately from a different location. In these cases, there is not only a special shipping note in the product description, a green information icon will appear next to that item in your shopping cart to indicate that shipping will be charged for this particular item, regardless of the order total.

The cost of any item excluded from free shipping is not applied toward the $120 minimum required for free shipping. If the other items in your shopping cart total over $120, however, then you will receive free shipping for those items. The yellow box at the bottom of the shopping cart that tells you how far away you are from free shipping automatically excludes ineligible items and reflects whether the rest of your order is eligible for free shipping, or how much more you need to spend to get free shipping for the rest of the order. If that box says you are eligible for free shipping, then the shipping charges that appear at checkout are only for the product that is excluded from free shipping.

The shipping address must be in the contiguous 48 United States. Hawaii, Alaska, and the following USA military posts and territories are excluded: AA, AE, AP, AS, GU, PW, PR, VI.

Your order must total $120 or more before taxes (Mass. residents only) and after any discounts or promotional codes are applied. This means that if you buy a product that's on sale for 30% off, for example, the discounted price of the product will be used for calculating free shipping, not the original price of the product.

Charges related to shipping will not be included to meet the $120 minimum.

If you have an item in your cart that always qualifies for free USA shipping no matter what the order total plus other products, the shopping cart will apply the price of the item toward the free shipping offer for the other items in the cart. However, if your order does not go over $120, the weight of the free shipping item will not be included when calculating shipping charges; you will only pay shipping for the other items in your shopping cart.

We will ship your order using the ground delivery service of our choice. If you select a method that is not marked "free," your order does not qualify for free shipping. You will be charged the shipping price displayed in the shopping cart.

You must tell 5 people about our website and how great our products and customer service are—OK, so this isn't really an official requirement, but we would appreciate it if you told your friends!

This product must be special ordered from the manufacturer so it will be shipped separately from any other products that you order from the store. When you check out, the shopping cart will display the method by which this item will be shipped—you cannot select a different method. The cart will also display the shipping charges, if any, for this item.

If you have also ordered products that will ship directly from the Clean Run warehouse, then you will be prompted at checkout to select a method for shipping those items.

Because this is a special order item, please be aware that we will process your payment immediately (as opposed to when an order ships).

If you live in the continental USA, you will not be charged any shipping for this item when you checkout. (Hawaii, Alaska, and the following USA military posts and territories are excluded: AA, AE, AP, AS, GU, PW, PR, VI.)

Please note that this free shipping offer applies only to this product, NOT to your entire order. If your order includes other items from the store that are not marked as having free shipping, you will be shown shipping charges for just those items when you check out—the weight of the item that qualifies for free shipping is not included in those shipping calculations.
